You’ll want to take a nap on Nov 28
Why will you want a nap on Nov 28? Because you’re going to want to see this concert! The band called Clark Plays Guitar will be performing their last Rockford area show for the year at Bar 3, 326 E State St, Rockford, IL on Saturday, Nov 28. This show is going to be so much fun, we are pulling out all the stops, putting the pedal to the metal, and putting it all on the line with some new, very cool visual special effects, new music, new merch, and it’s all being filmed for an upcoming DVD!
BUT WAIT! I know those of you who live in other parts of the world are saying “Sorry, can’t be there” or something to that effect. Well, we have you covered, too. We are streaming this concert live on the internet, for FREE! So you can still see the show, even if you are not close enough to drive to the venue. Keep watching here & at www.ClarkPlaysGuitar.com for the link that will get you into the streaming concert.
Of course, there will be some people that could come to the venue, that will try to save a couple of bucks by watching it online, & that’s okay. We know times are tight, and budgets can be unforgiving, which is part of the reason we’re doing the online stream for free. But remember that there will be lot’s happening at the show that won’t be online. We’re having an after-show party with the band, right at Bar 3 when we’re done; we’re doing some give-aways, there will be audience-participation segments, and who knows what else! Not to mention all the great drink specials Bar 3 has agreed to run for this show. So if you’re close enough to come, join us! We want to shake hands, give hugs, hang out, share stories, & do all the other crazy things that happen when we’re around. 
So here is the whole run-down: Doors open at 8:00pm, and Shawn Williams takes the stage at 9:00pm to give you his fun packed, over-the-top guitar playing, one-of-a-kind sensory overload show. Then at 10:00pm Clark Plays Guitar will take the stage and give you everything we’ve got. This includes the Amazing-9-Headed-Whirling-Drum-of-DOOM, the totally awesome Big Fat Guitar Medley, new tunes & more. Our wild-man of the drums, Oz Amaro promises “We’re going to give you something you’ve probably never experienced in a venue this size!” Darryl Andrus, ferocious bassist extraordinaire agrees: “This is NOT your daddy’s basic bar band!”
Then when Clark Plays Guitar leaves the stage, it’s a full blown party with the band, and we have the amazing Brian Beer performing, starting at about midnight. Brian plays the Chapman Stick, which is this over-the-top kind of guitar and bass melded together on one neck, plus he plays the world’s only Matrix Synthesizer. Brian performs progressive, totally unique music, with a level of musicianship that will astound you. While Brian is dazzling us from the stage, the band will be hanging out with the crowd, signing CD’s, t-shirts, & body-parts; telling stories, taking pictures, posing for pictures, and just acting-out in general like we do when we are in party-mode. And we’ll keep it up until closing, so you had better get a nap in that afternoon!
We really would love to have you all involved in the show, either online or in person. (You could end up on the DVD!) This is going to be a truly special show, and Oz, Darryl & I would be thrilled to talk with you about it, years from now, and have you be able to say “I was there!” I think it’s going to be that kind of show!
One last thing: if you have not subscribed to the official ClarkPlaysGuitar.com “Backstage Pass” newsletter, you really should. That’s the first place the link for the free online stream will show up, plus we send subscribers things that don’t show up anywhere else. We sometimes give discount coupons for merch; free MP3’s; and even the occasional free CD or t-shirt. And when you subscribe you can rest assured that your information will not be sold, lent, distributed, offered, or given to anyone else. Ever. Period.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading this. I hope to see you all (online or in the flesh) on Nov 28!
Love,
Clark
